[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheLoonyRebel:
NOTE: stvn1337 now is the ROM Port Maintainer.

This is an port of Sky Note from our sister AT&T Note 2 variant. Most things are working on this with a few exceptions like SMS/MMS. This ROM is developed by seanzscreams and wouldn't have been possible to be working on our Note 2 without the hard work of runandhide05 along with several others. Keep in mind that while this runs pretty well there are naturally bugs so be forwarded. I'll try to keep this updated as more bugs are found but so far from my time running this it's pretty smooth with a few exceptions. Please consider this to be experimental and not a fully daily driver.

BUGS AND NOTES

- To get data to work you have to toggle airplane mode on then off after booting up.

- Wifi does not work without applying the Wifi Fix that I have detailed below.

- Dial pad does not work while in calls.

- SMS/MMS does not work.

- Backing up this ROM with either Clockworkmod or TWRP works but restore does not.

- Restoring apps from Titanium Backup works on this from my testing without the need of TB Restore Fixer.

If there's anything else in terms of bugs etc I'll update this accordingly.

WIFI PATCH FIX

Here's how to get Wifi working. Do this after installing the ROM. Thanks to seanzscreams for the fix and stvn1337 for posting the info. What this fix does is adds the paramaters needed for Wifi to work on TouchWiz 4.3 based ROMs while still allowing us to flash to other ROMs outside of the TouchWiz 4.3 stuff. Be forwarded that these steps do need to be followed pretty much dot on especially when it comes to apply the patch. Deviating on that part might cause some major issues including bricking your device. I will not be held liable if that were to happen or will XDA. You've been pretty well warned. Don't worry this is a pretty easy patch to apply so don't worry too much about it. Smile, eat a Kit Kat, and just do what I tell you. In no time you'll have working Wifi on this ROM.

INSTRUCTONS

1 - Download Odin3 and the WiFi Fix files.

2 - Extract Odin3 and the WiFi Fix files. For the WiFi fix you just need to extract 4.3param_tz.zip so the 4.3param_tz.tar file is ready for us with Odin3.

3 - Download and install Samsung drivers if you don't have them already.

4 - Turn off Note 2. After turned off press Volume Down + Home Button + Power to boot into the bootloader.

5 - Plug Note 2 into PC with Odin3 running.

6 - Once your PC has detected and installed drivers your Note 2 should show up in Odin3.

7 - Load the Wifi fix file (should be named 4.3param_tz.tar) into the PDA option in Odin3.

8 - Hit the Start button. It'll only take seconds for the file to do its magic then your Note 2 will reboot into recovery.

9 - Reboot out of recovery.

10 - ????

11 - Wifi should work now!

12 - ????????

13 - PROFIT!
